ACC Community Education offers fly fishing series

ACC’s Community Education announces a comprehensive series to learn or improve skills with fly and fly rod. The program, Introductory and Intermediate Concepts of Fly Fishing, runs on five consecutive Tuesdays from March 7 to April 4 from 6-9 p.m. at ACC. All participants will receive free fly box, flies and accessories. Registration is limited to 15.

Concepts of Fly Fishing is designed for beginners through intermediate anglers. Each week’s class builds upon the previous: starting with basics covering fish, habitats, food sources, equipment, flies, accessories, knots, and casting; and concluding with an optional field trip to practice and apply skills on both still water setting and moving water.

Instructors for the classes are Bob Baughman and Ron Young, who share an obsession with the sport. Baughman has chased fish with a fly rod from saltwater to fresh for over 30 years. Young jumped into fly fishing after retirement, garnering significant experience, and has never looked back.

Both men are engineers so there isn’t a technical aspect of the sport they don’t enjoy, but their easy-going teaching style takes out the “techno-speak” for students The course introduces all fly fishing concepts to those new to the sport and polishes up skills for intermediates.

Cost for all five classes is $55. Students do not need equipment for the classroom sessions, but it will be necessary for the field trip. Advance registration is required and limited to 15 participants.
